Retro City Rampage arriving on the PlayStation 3 and Vita

If you’ve been looking forward to Retro City Rampage and wondering if it is going to be released on your shiny new PlayStation Vita which you’ll purchase this week – your prayers have been answered. Today it was announced on the official PlayStation blog that Retro City Rampage, the GTA-inspired pseudo-retro game that’s slated to arrive later this year will be coming to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.

For those of you who haven’t heard of it before, you can probably think of it as a Grand Theft Auto parody (we’re talking about the first game here – the one you played in MS-DOS) with more retro-looking graphics, pop culture references and a variety of different gameplay mechanics. Despite being unreleased, the game has already won multiple accolades, so it’s definitely something that a lot of people are looking forward to – hopefully it lives up to the hype.

Check out a video trailer for the game below and let us know if you’re thinking about picking up this game when it comes out.
